Wanna patch?
We've had lots of lovely themes submitted in the last few days - thank you, designers! - and I thought it would be a good opportunity to ask if anybody wants to try and patch one but has never dared to or simply doesn't know where to start. Don't worry if you've never done that before or never written any code. I've been in your very shoes. :) I know it looks scary and complicated and impossible but I promise it won't look that way once you've done it. If you're on Windows, I can walk you through the process from start to finish. If you're on a Mac or Linux, I'm sure someone else will volunteer to help you (and the process isn't that different so I may be able to help as well or ask the right people questions). If you'd like to give it a try, simply comment. You can also PM me.

First step: you need to request a Dreamhack then download PuTTY (choose the 'Windows installer for everything except PuTTYtel' .exe file) and WinSCP (choose 'Installation package'). Once you get the e-mail telling you you've got a Dreamhack, I'll walk through installing them and setting everything up.

:) Wait till you submit your patch and are waiting for the review! (And checking your e-mail three times a day to see if your patch's been accepted).
